A lot of these headlines are, well, slightly insensitive, aren't they? Take today's "stab death teacher", for instance...

Quite a crop today:

Wig-Wearing Woman
House Fire Woman
Hammer Death Woman
(are you sensing a pattern yet?)

And bucking the trend
Skip Death Pair

We also had Terror Four yesterday. Probably not as welcome in a crisis as the Fantastic Four.

Sorry, it was Hammer Attack Woman. Reports of her death were exaggerated,

However, Jet Crash Pupils have, er, crashed the party.

I'm still curious about "Skip Death Pair". Sure, the actual story is probably sad and rather disgusting, but I'll choose to use the American connotation and assume these two found a way to skip death. That IS a superpower!

Butlin's nose bite woman

Are they really allowed to do that these days? Holiday camp entertainment was a bit more... sedate, when I was a kid. Knobbly knees and bathing belles competitions, maybe a ventriloquist, that sort of thing.

Naked fire bus-leap man

Is this an allusion to that dream I had a few weeks ago about Evel Knieval? And did I just say that out loud? smiley - blush

At least they managed to fit a hyphen in this one.

Crash building 'dangerously unsafe'

Quite right too! I'd definitely describe any buildings that go around deliberately crashing, dangerously unsafe gorblimey.

Impotence pill man

That one could go either way, couldn't it. Is that a superhero who distributes blue pills to men about to engage in rumpy pumpy but who find themselves in a... floppy condition, or someone in need of a superhero who, etc?

That reminds me of an issue with certain hyphenated phrases and how moving the hyphen will completely change the meaning.

I forgot to mention this when it was fresh on my mind. I believe it was on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me that one of the panelists made a joke about the foreign press referring to Ahmed Mohammed as "Clock Boy". Now I can't remember the joke he made. It was something about him being a superhero who's power is to tell you when to get up, or when you're late for an appointment or something along those lines. I was in a hurry myself and didn't have time to turn on the computer.
